thanks so much, sorry for wasting your time, like I said wasn't sure if it was a bug or not.. by the way what did you find weird.. LOL if you know of a diff way of setting up what I'm trying to do that would be helpful..

No, bc every time I try I always destroy any chest the spawn before trying it again. even in running in the command line you can do many chest with the nbt tags with LOCK and Loot_table. but I can't get even one to spawn with the loot table in tacked using datapacks. the Lock tag work in datapacks but the Loottable does not and the Path is the same in both so I know the path works...
